ROADS & HIGHWAYS

WK Dickson's highway and paving designs satisfy the most demanding environment and transportation requirements. Whether it is a new location or an existing route, our services span all of the elements impacting geometric design.

The design aspects of transportation engineering include the sizing of transportation facilities (how many lanes or how much capacity the facility has), determining the materials and thickness used in pavement and designing the geometry (vertical and horizontal alignment) of the roadway .

WK Dickson offers exceptional expertise in designing major roadway facilities -- gained from nearly 30 years of experience in cities and states throughout the southeastern region of the United States. We have shown a propensity for being flexible and compliant with the many changes that have occurred in the past few years. Today’s projects include tremendous new technologies and design solutions while remaining sensitive to a variety of additional features such as the environment, historical elements and cultural needs.

In addition, our construction administration team members are industry professionals with field experience and up-to-date working knowledge for installations of highways and roadways, airport runways, utility infrastructure such as water and wastewater, drainage systems, and other important support functions.
